Abstract

Cytokines, a diverse family of small proteins, serve as critical regulators of immune responses, inflammation, and various physiological processes. This abstract provides an overview of cytokine function, encompassing their roles in immune regulation, inflammation, and disease pathogenesis. Understanding the multifaceted functions of cytokines is essential for deciphering complex immune processes and developing targeted therapies. As key players in health and disease, cytokines continue to be a focal point of research, promising insights that will shape the future of medicine.
